The Cat that lived Across the Road
Everything seemed in order, I suppose, to die
It was a warm enough day;
Certainly
The sun shone and birds sung
Even though birds would cause a feline heart to race
Normally
I’ve had my fill of life
Of tit bits and cosy sleeps, sometimes in next doors shed
Informally
And I’ve had my chases and midnight hunts
And I’ve always remembered my owners and left them a mouse or two,
Naturally
A last cuddle would have been nice
Still, all in all it’s been a good life, and I’ve loved it
Enormously
I’ve always liked this tree
I can keep my eye on the birds and the sun comes down
Warmly
So now I’ll just close my eyes and die
And go on to the next of my nine lives
Expectantly.
